In addition to fireworks, tanks, flyovers by military jets and Air Force One, President Trump's July 4 extravaganza will feature the now-infamous "Baby Trump," blimp on the National Mall, just blocks from the White House.

The feminist group Code Pink was granted permission by the National Park Service to fly the diaper-clad image of the president, holding a cellphone.

The group has raised over $13,000 to bring the blimp to Trump's "Freedom from Trump," rally on July 4.

The blimp has followed the president globally, in London last year, and most recently for his 2020 reelection campaign in Orlando, Florida. 

“The president is shifting the 4th of July festivities to celebrate his administration," Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin in the statement. "We will bring together people opposed to the pain and suffering caused by this administration, from family separation at the border to supplying weapons used by Saudi Arabia to kill Yemeni children.”
